How long is a physical examination good for?

Answer:

If your last physical exam showed normal and healthy results, most doctors will recommend you return one year later for another checkup. But if you have a chronic illlness (such as diabetes or asthma), most doctors will want you to come back more often. A good doctor will tell you when you should return.
